:Even where `the Ycustomer thas an', erroneous impression tas to Vthe, :exact amount paid, a proprietor will sometimes, iin :order ato" prevent. dissatisfaction, suffer :aofiinancial loss. Even 1in such aleaseithefcnstomer sometimes retains the A,impression that-fthe-proprietor endeavored :to `impose aipon said 'customer by short-changing him;4 YIn order 1toprevent both-'thennancial yloss, and also the-formation of :an erroneous Vimpressionpby.l the customer-I 'have provided the fdllowfing im'- vprovenient `which 1 consistsfin providing; what I' term :caslnreceiving receptacles within each compartment Oifya1cash-dreamer finto which `all fcoins are al-ways:deposited'ifor fevery .'transactiom .cliange','i feany ,is required, being made directly 'from :the .maia` compartment 'itsel'f` instead of iffromfthe'i-'cashreceiving-receptacle withinlsaid lcompartment.

cash-:receiving Areeelptafcles1:72.

The members .4 f are iseeurfedito :transversely y,disposed shafts :or rods Swpivotalliv mounted :within V,the easlifdrawer c2 andprojecting ibefvond fone -end thereof, saidfiprojeetinggends `being provided -v with -arms 49 v`:in :turn pivotfally'jconneeted :by means orf a-connectinglrod after more fully -eset qiorth, to :deposit coins r11 thereinV into -thecompartmentslf llG mounted upon thecash-register 1 as at 17, the said trip 14 and lever 16 being normally held in operative position against a stop-18 by means of a suitable spring 19,. asgdisclosed in Fig. lof the drawings.

The trippinglarm 16 extends exteriorly of the cash-register 1 adjacent the front end of the cash-drawer 2 therein andis oifset to permit passage of said cash-drawer 2.

Thefouteror projecting end lof the tripping arm 16 is provided with a suitable button 21 by means of.A which the saidtripping arm rtension 12 ofthe arm 9jV may be'depressed against the tension ofthe spring 19y away from thewpath of the exl A suitable spring 22 is-coiinected Vat one end to one side of the cash-drawer 2 and at its other end to one of the-arms9eof the `rods 8 .whereby `the tension of said spring 22 will normally tend to retain. all of the cashr'eceiving vreceptacles 4 in. operative position'asdisclosed in full lines in' Fig. 2 of the drawings. ,f f j.

In roperation'thedrawer 2: is opened and the coins or cash of a given' transaction are vdepositedvwithin the cash-receiving receptacles 7. Any change which may be required is made from the coins 'within the main compartments 3 and not lfrom the cashreceiving receptacles and the said cashdrawer is then closed. During the closing 'operation or movement ofthe drawer 2 the extension y12 will ride over the beveledk ork inclined forward end of the trip 14 and depress said trip aiid lever lagainst the tension ofthe spring19 until said extension 12 of the arm 9 passes said trip when said tension will return said trip 14and arm or lever 16to normal position as disclosed in Fig. 2 of the drawings. Y f

The extension 12 `and arm -9-cannotV be moved/during a closing movement'ofthe drawer 2 forwthereason that all of the lat- -eraliextensions of the members 4V are resting against and are prevented therefore against such movement by the sides or wallsof the main compartments 3p f f After thel cash-drawer 2 "hasbeen closed, should any dispute arise as tothe Adenomination of the coins paid by the customer tothe proprietor the said'pro'prietor maypermitL an inspection of the amount of; coins or cash received n `by first depressingfthe arm 16 against the tensionv of the spring 19V which will remove the trip `14 away from the path ofthe extension 12 and therebyA render said trip 14 inoperative.- f Thecashldrawer 2 may 'then be openedv for'the inspection of the customer with the: coins or cash s till'within the vcash-receiving receptacle-S7. After the customerhasbeen satisfied of the amount and denomination of the coinsv or cash de posited the drawer 2 is again closed 'as hereinbefore set forth. f 1

During the next opening operation of the vcash-drawer 2 for making change or for any purposes, the arm 16 is not depressed and asv the said drawer is opened the trip 14 willengage the extension 12 of the arm V9 and thereby actuate all of the members v4 and extensions 6 thereofV and move the same to the position disclosed in dotted lines in Fig. 2of the drawings, which movement will cause all of the coins or cash within the` receptacles to be discharged into their respect-ive main compartments 3 andk thereby empty said cash-receiving receptacles 7 and render them readyfor'receiving the coins or cash ofthe next transaction."y

`Having thus described my invention what vI claim as new and desire to secure by Let- 11.v The combination v with a cash-'drawer ranged to forni a cashv receiving receptacle in conjunction withone of the sides of said compartment and-means for 'moving said members away from the side of said-compartments to deposit cash -within said re- 1'00' ceiving receptaclesinto said compartments lwhenever said cash-drawer is opened.

SQThe Acombination with a cash-drawer having compartments, of a member movably mounted vwithin each compartment and arranged to form acash receiving receptacle jin conjunction with one of the sides of said compartment; :and means for moving said membersv away from the side of said compartments Vto depositV cash within said receiving receptacles linto said compartments wheneverl said cash-drawerisopened; and f means for preventing movement of the members when said cash-drawer is opened whereby said cash" may Y be retained Y within said receiving receptacles for inspection purposes. 4. The combination with a cash-drawer f having compartments, of a member movably mountedfwithin each compartment'and arranged toformf a cash receiving receptacle in conjunction with one ofthe'sides of said compartment; means for normally retaining said members in engaging relationwith said compartment sides to formlfreceiving recep- Mtacles; a trip 'arrangedto movesaid members away from said compartment sides wheneversaid-cash-drawer yis opened where- .bycash within saidv receptacles may be deposited within the compartments; and means for lnormally retaining `-said trip in operative-position( v 1 5. The combination with a cash-drawer, of a member movably mounted within each compartment and arranged to form a cash receiving receptacle in conjunction with one of the sides of said compartment; means for normally retaining said members in engaging relation with said compartment sides to form receiving receptacles; a trip arranged to move said members away from said compartment sides whenever said cashdrawer is opened whereby cash within said receptacles may be deposited within the compartments; and means for normally retaining said trip in operative position; and means for moving said trip to an inoperative position whereby cash within said receptacles may be retained therein for inspeotion purposes whenever saidcash-draw er is opened.
